How to expand upon the error from a Jasmine expect failure?

Question

I'm using Jasmine, FrisbyJS, and Jest to create API tests for my team's product. I want to be able to handle when an expect (which I'm pretty sure Frisby is just using the underlying Jasmine expect) fails. I'm not expecting it to fail. I don't want to use a "toThrow", I'm not expecting this call to fail. I just want better error logging when an expect that I expect to pass, fails.

I would like the line of the failing expect, an expanded error message including a relevant stack trace, and potentially the ability to write my own error message attached, like "The call to projects failed". Maybe this is a shortcoming with the Frisby module, in which case, how should I handle this from the Jasmine perspective?

I had this code:

frisby.get(environment.ApiUrl + environment.dashboardProjectsApi)
      .expect('status', 200)
      .done(done);

And I was receiving this very non-descript error that was lacking any further information:

 FAIL  tests\dashboard.api.spec.js
  ● Dashboard API › should return a list of projects this user can access

    AssertionError: HTTP status 200 !== 500

      at FrisbySpec.status (node_modules/frisby/src/frisby/expects.js:25:12)
      at FrisbySpec._addExpect.e (node_modules/frisby/src/frisby/spec.js:408:23)
      at then (node_modules/frisby/src/frisby/spec.js:299:26)

      at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:109:7)

  Dashboard API
    × should return a list of projects this user can access (289ms)

I have a couple of issues with this:

• I'm getting a stack trace of the expects code in Frisby, not where this code is called in my tests
• I don't get an expanded message with the error message or stack trace from the API response

And then I made this code, which is better and closer to what I would want to log if any of my expects failed:

frisby.get(environment.ApiUrl + environment.dashboardProjectsApi)
      .expect('status', 200)
      .then(function (res) {
          if (res.status != 200) {
              console.log(res);
          }
      })
      .done(done);

Which emits a much better message to my console.log:

console.log tests\dashboard.api.spec.js:19
    FrisbyResponse {
      _response: 
       Body {
         url: 'https://mywebsite.net/api/dashboard/projects/get',
         status: 500,
         statusText: 'Internal Server Error',
         headers: Headers { _headers: [Object] },
         ok: false,
         body: 
          PassThrough {
            _readableState: [Object],
            readable: false,
            domain: null,
            _events: [Object],
            _eventsCount: 3,
            _maxListeners: undefined,
            _writableState: [Object],
            writable: false,
            allowHalfOpen: true,
            _transformState: [Object] },
         bodyUsed: true,
         size: 0,
         timeout: 5000,
         _raw: [ <Buffer ... > ],
         _abort: false,
         _bytes: 1900 },
      _body: 
       { message: 'An error has occurred.',
         exceptionMessage: 'Sequence contains no matching element',
         exceptionType: 'System.InvalidOperationException',
         stackTrace: ' ...' } }

I have a valid understandable exception message and a stackTrace that I can take back to my developers to further debug. My issue with this though, has to do a lot of handling to make this raw message into something I want logging (which is maybe what I have to do, but I would think someone would have something helpful out there) and I have to have extra code checking the same status again to verify that "hey, your call failed". I would expect an easier .ifFailed(/do stuff here/) or something. If there is something obvious I missed, I apologize. I tried to Google "Jasmine error handling" without much success.
